Apr 05, 2010

LOGAN, Utah – Freshman Malia
Wahinepio won at No. 4 singles while freshman Nicole Perez and
junior Yumi Hasegawa each won their 10th-consecutive singles match,
but Utah State claimed the top-three singles matches and the
doubles point for a 4-3 victory Monday in Logan. The loss ended
NAU's five-match winning streak to drop the Lumberjacks to 10-4
while Utah State improved to 8-7.

After sweeping doubles in
five-straight matches, NAU lost two of three doubles battles on
Monday. The lone Lumberjack doubles win came at No. 3, where
Hasegawa and junior Edit Suhajda rolled to an 8-0 win, but 8-5 wins
for Utah State at No. 1 and 2 gave the home team the early lead.

In singles play, Wahinepio won her
11th match of the season with a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 4. Perez
cruised past Utah State's Taylor Perry, 6-1, 6-1 for her 10th
straight win at No. 5 while Hasegawa equaled that feat and tied
Wahinepio for the team-lead in wins with a 6-3, 6-1 victory at No.
6. The Aggies picked up a straight-set win at No. 3 and rallied for
three-set victories at No. 1 and 2 to clinch the match and hand NAU
its first loss since February 26.

Northern Arizona returns to the
road next weekend, playing four matches in was many days in the
Pacific Northwest starting on Friday at Washington State at noon.
